I haven’t blogged at all this summer. My blogging always correlates with my picture taking and that hasn’t been very good this summer either. I am going to try to write a few things since we actually had a great summer and I want to remember it some day. I really should blog more often.
The summer came in loud and clear after the kids were out of school. The Throckmortons showed up to LIVE in Coeur d’Alene about a week later. The kids were so exited to have cousins to play with just down the road. We made it a daily schedule to fit in a trip to the lake. We seriously went almost every single day. That is THE best part about being in Coeur d’Alene in the summer – Honestly. We made a couple early summer trips floating down the Coeur d’Alene river in inner tubes. It was awesome. The water is cold but the sun is warm and the combination is just perfect. Wish I had pictures!
The 4th of July brought the Stephans to visit as well. We managed to fit in a trip to Silverwood and a bike ride on the Hiawatha trail. We also held the 2nd ever FTS Olympic games in which all the adult couples compete for a coveted trophy – or compete to NOT lose because the loser plans the next games! Either way, Leonard and I won the games and we have the trophy sitting on our mantle for anyone to see. Again, no pictures. I know that there are several pictures out there so hopefully I will snag a few before this blog entry gets published!
The kids put on their own little carnival with all the cousins here complete with face painting, a fish pond, carnival games, and a water fight. They also had cotton candy, snow cones, and a bunch of toys to give away at the end. Good times with fun family!
Miranda learned how to use the camera and so there are a bunch of random pictures on mine. None of them have anything to do with any of the activities that I talked about – but they will have to do because it’s all I have.
